Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced Wednesday that he will try to remove his state from participation in the national education standards program known as Common Core.

However, only minutes after Jindal made the statement leaders in the state legislature and state education officials pushed back saying Louisiana would stick with the new standardized academic criterion.

According to a story from nola.com, Jindal at first said he would pull the state out of the consortium that created new standardized tests, instead relying on locally-produced testing. However, Jindal can not, by himself, remove Louisiana's public schools from under the new standards. He can block a Common Core standardized test the state had planned to use next year.

Jindal told legislators and school board officials that he wants "Louisiana standards and a Louisiana test" in place of the Common Core standardized tests.

"We want them out of our state. We want out of Common Core," said Jindal.

We will not let President Obama and Secretary Duncan take over the education of Louisiana's children.

According to a Washington Post story, John White, the state superintendent of education, said that Louisiana would not be dropping out of the 14-state consortium.

"The state will continue to implement the Common Core Standards . . . This is a long-term plan we have been working on," said White, whom Jindal appointed. "We are not willing to subject our children to last-minute changes to throw our system into educational chaos."
